Funding for business

jv1597

I have a seedling business with $0 capital, and I'm in need of funding for patenting costs. I did some research and read that a utility patent costs around $3000-$4000. Does anyone know of any funding sources?

Hi, there should be some options locally to get $3-4k. You could try a credit line, a small loan from credit unions or small banks, or from family and friends. I don't want to sound like I am soliciting, but since you asked directly, I do know a company that provides loans to small businesses, but usually they start at $25,000. If you plan on starting a business, you will definitely need more than $4,000.
When do you need these funds? Have you made a budget or built out a financial plan for your company's future expenses?

Totally agree! Of course, it depends on the type of business, but you should work on a business plan at first. If it is good, I am sure you will find investors or even sponsors.

Hi, thanks for your posts! I've gone over my options as far as loans are concerned, but I don't have the earnings to acquire a loan of $3,000-$10,000 right now. I have some pretty good product ideas I'm working on right now, but don't want to utilize crowdfunding resources, as I'm at a $0 dollar position financially, and would require some funding for prototyping, and development. I really don't feel comfortable listing my idea without the minimal patenting either.
So I was just inquiring if anyone had come across this type of situation, and whether they knew of any resources for $0 seedling micro entities.
Thanks.
